Worship: The Glory Of God


The glory of the Lord is what we live for, to bring him glory. In old English they would say glory is to ascribe or give back the honour and splendor to him who deserves it. Glory in Hebrew and Greek speaks of splendor, light, rarity, honour beauty and abundance. 



 God is already full of glory (honour, power, majesty, rarity) and there is nothing we can do to change it. He already receives perfect worship from all angels and heavenly beings. We can not change that and we can’t subtract from that, He remains God but glorifying God is the essence of our lives.

 “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour”, Psalms 8:5 KJV

 This glory within us that has been crowned upon man is what causes people like Jay Z to call themselves Jehovah. It is that glory within man that causes many to seek after themselves and not God. “That no flesh should glory in his presence”, Corinthians 1:29 God spoke about it that we shouldn’t glory in our flesh.

 We were created by God, beautiful in his nature of glory. If you are not beautiful or do not feel as such look deep within and see the glory of God on the inside, you have been crowned with Glory and honour before you were born.

 Worship is a vehicle that allows us access to his presence, his desire is that we spend time and commune with Him and enjoy his presence. “He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord”, 1Corinthians 1:31 Pst Bonnie Deuschle always says that “Worship is becoming” which means you become more and more like the one that you worship.  

 In Exodus 34:29 -34 Moses had to cover his face so that he could talk to the Children of Israel because the glory of the Lord was upon his life after spending forty days and forty nights in the mountain Face to Face with God. 

 Who you are today reflects who the people you spend time with everyday, those who have godly characters they have them because they spend time with god. What are we glorying in everyday, who do we spend time with everyday of your life is the one whose glory you live by.

 So many times we end up showing people the glory that is in our lives (human glory) and to those who do not know they can not relate to it. People should be attracted to the glory of God that we carry in our lives, it’s not ours it’s the Lord’s glory. 

 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”, Matthew 5:16. God desires that we carry his glory and nature into the world and show the world the beauty and splendour. Our lives should be contagious in our all our labour that we don’t stand in our glory. 

 We are worshippers and God desires us to commune with us all the days of our lives and one of the by products of spending time with Him is that we become more like him in nature and you inturn carry his glory and splendour. God wants our worship or our works to bring Him glory. Lets not stand in our glory and minister to the earth that God is good why that is so because our glory is limited and his can turn someone life within a minute. 

 Spend time in the presence of God get the DNA, nature and glory of God and go into the world and let the glory of the Lord over your life preach the good news of our Lord Jesus and if necessary use words.

 Worship Him In The Beauty of His Holiness.

Hearing God As A Worshipper

Don’t you have those kinds of friends and relatives who tell you amazing stories of their vision with the Lord Jesus or the dreams they had walking with Jesus or people who hear God’s voice and can see God in literary everything they walk in? Even the ones who see God in odd things, colors, incidences and they hear God speaking to them.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things. It is then asking the question is how do we hear God’s voice or train my ear to hear God’s voice because we always told God is always speaking we just not listening enough. How many have tried to listen and you heard nothing.  You could be like me, I haven’t heard God’s audible voice or see him in a vision or trance, I try and read things and I usually fail and suck at those things.

Being a child of God and being called a Christian qualifies a person to be a worshipper, whether you have a sweet voice or a horsey voice, whether you can dance or you have CRD (Caucasian Rhythm Disorder) in God’s books you qualify as a worshipper. The name of a person reveals their character and the quality of worship reveals the character of a worshipper . Just like the names of God reveal his character and a worshipper is known his or her character. Characteristics of a Worshipper Brokenness and Humility   “ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise” Psalms 51:17  “The LORD is nigh (near) unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit” Psalms 34:18 “Because your heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heard his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbled thyself before me, and didst rend thy clot...

The Priesthood of A Worshipper Part 2

Caution! The words in this article may offend some people, please take no offence it’s what the bible says and we are just interpreters. Looking at the lives of Old Testament who were sold out, lived their whole lives separated and living their live for the call of God. As you read this, God called you a priest whether you are a worship leader, singer or you don’t have the ability to sing but you are good at SMI (shower ministries international) or may term yourself an ordinary Christian. We are all called to worship, so we are all Priests after the order of the Lion of Judah . “Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads” Ezekiel 44:20 As you read this verse many will tell you that “God looks at the heart”, but reading these chapters of Ezekiel 44, worship is more than just having the  heart. The heart matters a lot in addition to the heart there is also presentation, there is dressing, consecration, our d...
